Gold Half Gram (2022) American Football, Coin from Palau
CoinGold Half Gram (2022) American Football

The Republic of Palau is an island country in the western Pacific, in free association with the United States. In one way or another, the country has been under US administration since it was established, and has never had its own separate currency - it has always used the US Dollar. However, Palau allows some foreign mints to issue coins under its authority; these are denominated in US Dollars but are only legal tender in Palau, so can in a way be considered to be in "Palau Dollars", even though such a currency does not officially exist.

The coins are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in the internationally popular half gram (0.5g) of gold collector format.

The American Football coin is part of the large Golden Highlights series of specially shaped gold mini-coins by CIT Coin Invest.

The Mint says about it:
"How many weekend days are spent watching the big game and rooting for your favourite team? Nothing is quite like the spectacle of American Football and the many millions of fans world-wide that enjoy the game. Everybody it seems has an own favourite team. Fans fall in love early with the game as many grow up playing it in schools and eventually college. In addition to professional leagues, even college football has millions of fans.

This half gram pure gold football legal tender coin would make an excellent tribute to the ultimate weekend pastime!"

The coin is shaped like the ball used in American football. Like all other gold half grams in the special shapes series, the date of issue is not written on the coin.

The obverse of the coin features the unofficial "Emblem of Palau" used on much of the country's coinage. It has an ornate shield at centre, on which is depicted the sea god Neptune, crowned and seated on a round stone and holding a trident in his left hand; on the right, a bare breasted mermaid; on the left, a treasure chest. The ground is a beach, featuring waves and a starfish. Above Neptune, a star. Below the waves, the inscription RAINBOW'S END. Above the shield is a native rowing in a single-outrigger canoe.

Around above, surrounded by three stars on the left and three stars on the right, the name of the country: *** REPUBLIC OF PALAU ***.

Below, the face value $1 (one dollar).
